Confirmed from Hampton Hills Metro Park Mountain Bike Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Mountain-biking area with beginner to expert options, plus a pump track.
What runners say about Hampton Hills Metro Park Mountain Bike Area
“With mountain bike trails ranging from beginner to intermediate, there’s something here for riders of all abilities.”
I had a great day biking here. The downhills and jumps on the trail were a lot of fun. Great switchbacks. I still need to try that big drop off. The restroom was satisfactory ohio in general needs better facilities. Picnic tables and covered area. The trails were amazing. Will go back for sure.
Well maintained and a lot of fun. Bike paths ranging from moderate to expert
Extremely fun mountain biking. There are a few beginner trails to get warmed up with and then the excitement begins. The longer trail of the three is considered intermediate to advanced. The downhill is fast and flowing with a few man-made obstacles and drops along the way.
Just beginning mountain biking and thoroughly enjoyed the beginner and moderate trails. Good bar of entry and helped me get more comfortable on the bike. Didn't try course D but I recommend A, B, and C for beginners. Just watch out for trail hazards like this little guy.

“As you pull up there are two parking lots, a bike tool station and a pretty nice restroom for a park.”
“The advanced trail has a few steep declines and inclines but you definitely do not have to be an advanced biker to ride on them.”
“As you pull up there are two parking lots, a bike tool station and a pretty nice restroom for a park.”
